We came there by train from Tokyo station to Ushiku station. From threre we catch a bus to Buddha of Ushiku. It took us about 1 hour on the bus ( every hour we can have a bus to go to Buddha of Ushiku).
We are a Buddhist , so to good to miss to visit this place. We feel...

We were not looking for this, but happened on it as we returned from a business meeting. He is magnificent. He is the tallest buddha! There is a small park around him and you can go into him and ride the elevator to various floors for more education and views. There is a small market area before you enter where...

This Buddha statue has the Guinness record for being the biggest in the world so its worth a visit if you have a car.
There is plenty of free parking space and entrance is only 800yen which includes entry to the garden and inside of the Buddha.
I was really disappointed to find out that they didn't let dogs even...

The highlight is the giant Buddha but the garden is also worth seeing. It was almost the end of hydrangea season but announcement boards say different flowers are planted by season.

Big Buddha Image located in a very beautiful Buddha park .Amazing scenery ! Its really worth-visiting ! And,Tonkatsu in japanese curry is very delicious there . But be aware of bus time !! if you go there ,go early morning and check well time of the last bus return back to train station.

We observed beautiful landscapes in four directions. Then back to 4th floor where we could see some souvenirs. Then down to 3rd...

The statue is far bigger than it seems in photos and videos and is worth the visit from Tokyo. Beautiful park surrounding the daibutsu & interesting to see the construction history of it inside. There are viewing points inside the buddha from which you can see a nice view at about 120 m.
Few things to note though - it...

This was my second visit to this majestic buddha. The first time it was mid-week and drizzly so the park was very quiet. But this time the sun was shining and it was a Sunday, so it had a lot more atmosphere. It was busy but certainly not crowded. There were markets selling food and pottery, entertainment and a very...
